Something like this ought to work, though I've not tested it as I don't have a Raspberry Pi 5 (though I do have a OnePlus 7 Pro): https://amzn.to/4bRBmtE "Warp Charge" is a low-voltage (5V), high-current charging scheme OnePlus has used on some of its phones. 6A (from a 30W charger) ought to be more than enough for anything that Raspberry Pi is currently shipping. -- _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( https://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
